Method

Preheat the grill to a medium heat setting.

Brush bread slices with olive oil and toast in a frying pan until golden-brown.

Spread cheese onto the toast and grill for 1 to 2 minutes until melted.

Pulse olives, garlic, pepper, and olive oil in a food processor into a coarse paste.

Blend in more olive oil gradually until the mixture becomes a smooth paste.

Spread tapenade over the warm cheese toast and garnish with additional cheese.
